Beneath the opulence of the Paris Opera House, in the darkness of the catacombs, lurks the Phantom. One day, he hears the distant sound of a soprano voice and becomes obsessed with possessing her at any cost.

Both a dark love story and a horror classic, The Phantom of the Opera is one of silent cinema’s most lavish achievements. Its vast sets and innovative experiments with film colour are the background for one of early horror cinema’s most striking character creations – Lon Chaney’s Phantom. Chaney experimented for two years with metal hooks, wax, putty, and paint to create the skull-like appearance which terrified audiences one hundred years ago.

Join us for a hauntingly unforgettable evening and celebrate the 100th birthday of one of silent cinema’s most beautiful creations. Pianist Jonny Best will bring the whole thing alive with brand new music.

The Phantom of the Opera. 1925. USA, 92 minutes.
Directed by Rupert Julian.
With Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry.
